Summary: W0740 Nehemiah had agreed to return to the court of the king of Persia after the wall was built. Twelve years have passed and the people have entered into the same sins that ruined them before the captivity. They had failed in separation with other nations. They had failed in their commitment to sanctification. They had entered into marriages with ungodly people. They had failed in their service to the Lord. Nehemiah had to "clean house" all over again.
